Neven Spahija, Venice head coach
"I hope we will be ready. Everybody must step up. Cedevita comes with no wins, but that does not mean anything. They will be very motivated. We will prepare to play this game and we will pay attention to their best players, especially Prepelic, who they just addedd. Blazic and Matkovic are also important and we must be ready to respond against any kind of play they show."
Andrea Turchetto, Cedevita Olimpija assistant coach
"For us, every game is important. We will face one of the best teams in the BKT EuroCup. Venice has quality roster, ambitions and a great club history. The guards of our rivals are very athletic, while the whole team plays very good basketball with a good flow. Tuesday's match will be a very high mountain for us to climb. We are going to Venice with the right attitude and desire to be better, to compete and to show our progress again."
